Building a cognitive science of human variation: Individual differences in spatial navigation

NS Newcombe, M Hegarty… - Topics in Cognitive …, 2023 - Wiley Online Library
The aim of this issue is to take stock of cognitive science of human variation in the field of
spatial navigation, an important domain in which debates have often assumed an invariant …

Understanding differences in wayfinding strategies

M Hegarty, C He, AP Boone, S Yu… - Topics in Cognitive …, 2023 - Wiley Online Library
Navigating to goal locations in a known environment (wayfinding) can be accomplished by
different strategies, notably by taking habitual, well‐learned routes (response strategy) or by …

[HTML][HTML] The role of distal landmarks and individual differences in acquiring spatial representations that support flexible and automatic wayfinding

MG Buckley, JM Austen, A McGregor - Journal of Environmental …, 2024 - Elsevier
Theories of parallel memory systems suggest that flexible wayfinding (eg, shortcutting)
requires knowledge about the spatial structure of an environment, whereas automatic …

Humans account for cognitive costs when finding shortcuts: An information-theoretic analysis of navigation

GL Lancia, M Eluchans, M D'Alessandro… - PLOS Computational …, 2023 - journals.plos.org
When faced with navigating back somewhere we have been before we might either retrace
our steps or seek a shorter path. Both choices have costs. Here, we ask whether it is …
